    yeah - I actually keep a piece of paper hanging from the vent over the gps when I park somewhere so it looks like I just keep a "reminder list" hanging on the dash for myself ... lol

    XM Activation problem

    I believeyou only have like 2 or 4 hours ( or something like that) to rec'v the activation code after they send it out from XM. You need to get the radio turned on and stationary within that time frame or else it will not have recv'd the broadcasted activation and it would have expired -- that...

    Thoughts on why I love my Yukon

    I wish the brainwashed Obama disciples would open their eyes -- A windfall tax !! How ridiculous! Basic Eco 101 --> Corporations in free markets do not pay taxes - they pass them along... If government 'decides' that a Corp makes too much money and they pass a windfall tax the Corp will simply...

    Help Please

I've heard this fix lasts anywhere from 5-10k miles. That should take me into spring and then I'll pickup the latest shaft that GM...

    Transmission Troubles

    Thanks :thumbsup: I guess Suburban's have it a little rougher 'cause of the added weight too :( I used to have a Bronco and the Bronco had the same weakness -- a poor stock tranny that could not take too much heat/stress and cost a ton and a half more than most other trannys

    2002 Chevy Suburban fuel gauge only reading 3/4 full

    Mine was getting inaccurate the past few weeks and I decided to try using only Shell Gas and adding Chevron Concentrate Plus ( http://www.chevron.com/products/ourfuels/prodserv/additives/tcp.aspx ) It seems to have resolved the issue --- I would have used Chevron gas as well - but none in...
